Donate the processing power of your mobile phone to scientific research!

Donate the processing power of your mobile phone to scientific research!

Dragan Varagić shared an article on his Facebook profile where an application was presented that uses the processing power of your mobile phone for scientific purposes. I really liked the whole idea so I decided to share it with the visitors of my blog.

The system is designed so that the application uses the hardware resources of your dying device to process some data. As a result, your device becomes part of a supercomputer for data processing. So, before you go to bed, turn on the phone on the charger, leave the WiFi turned on and when the battery is charged to 100% the application starts receiving the data being processed, and then the processed data is sent back.

The whole system is used for scientific purposes and all your data on the phone is safe!

The application also has a nicely designed alarm so that the data processing process will be completed when the alarm sounds. I was very impressed with the whole project, I fully support it and I immediately installed the application on my phone.

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
